INDIAN MEAL DIET.-"Eat q good
bowl of mush and milk for your
breakfast, and you will not need any
medicine. Indian corn contains a
large amount of nitrogen, has quail
ties anti-constipating, and is easily as
simulated. 1t is cheap, and has great
nutritive properties. A course of In-
dian meal in the shape of Johnny
cake, hoe-cake, corn or pone-bread and
mush, relieved by copious draughts of
pure cows milk, to which, if inclined
to dyspepsia, a little lime water may
be added, will make life, now q bur-
den, well worth the living, and you
need no other treatment to correct
your nervousness, brighten your Wis
ion, and give you sweet and peaceful
sleep"
The French mode of killing poultry,
causing instant death and perfect
bleeding, is accomplished by opening
the beak of the fowl, and with Il sharp
pointed and narrow bladed knife,
making all incision at the back of the
roof of the mouth, which will divide
the vertebrae and cause immediate
death, after which the fowls arc hung
up by the legs until bled. They are
then picked when warm. In this
way the skin presents natural appear
ance.
If you want knowledge you must
toll for it; if food, you must toll for
it; and if pleasure you must toll for it.
Toll is the law. Pleasure comes
through toll, and not by self-indul-
gence and Incidence. When one gets
to love work his life is happy one.
Milking should be done and milk
should be kept only where the sur
rounding air is pure and free from OBJ
iectiOnable and tainting odors. Milk
ing in foul smelling stable or yard
affects the fluid and imparts all injuri-
Gus faint.
Clean out the well during dry sea-
sons. No matter how well covered
they may be. the chances are that
toads will be found in them. 1t is i'm
portant to have such work done every
year if supply of pure clean water is
desired.
The true value of a good home is too
often only realized when it is broken
up and gone.
Improvement in the daughters will
best aid In the reformation of the sons
in this age.
The following copied by the Rich
mond Christian Atlvocdte, from the
Encyclical letter from the Pope, will
be read with interest and regarded
quite as suggestive:
| All Catholics must make themselves
felt as active elements in daily politi-
cal life in the countries where they
live. They must penetrate whatever
possible in the administration of civil
affairs; must constantly exert the ut
most vigilance and energy to prevent
the usages of liberty from going be-
yond the limits fixed by Gods law.
All Catholics should do all in their
power to cause the Constitutions Of
States and legislation to he modelled on
the principles of the true Church. All
| Catholic writers and journalists should
never lose for an instant from view the
above prescriptions. All Catholics
should redouble their submission to
authority and unite their whole heart,
soul, body, and mind, in the defense
of the Church and Christian wisdom.
The sentence, "All Catholics should
do all in their power to cause the Con-
stituticns of States and legislation to
be modelled on the principles of the
true Church." may have deep and
important meaning.
The individual has, by the law of
God, no right to return evil for evil.
Men connected in societies are under
the same moral law as individuals.
Hence it would seem that all wars are
contrary to the revealed will of God,
and that the individual has no right
to commit 10 society, nor society to
commit to government, the power to
declare war. Such, ! must confess,
seems to me to he the will of our Gre
ator, and hence, that to all arguments
brought in favor of war, it would he a
sufficient answer, that God has forbid
den it, and that no consequences can
possibly be conceived to arise from
keeping his law so terrible as those
which must arise from violating it.
There are many shifts and changes,
but if we stand still and bide our time,
The current which was this way to-day
will set in an opposite direction to-
morrow; and if it should not do so,
what is that to us?
